Japan's SWCC Showa Holdings says its domestic wire harness production subsidiary, Daiji, will close its Itami plant in Japan, to integrate the operation into its Okayama plant. In October, two wire harness production subsidiaries in Dongguan, China, were integrated into a single plant (Dongguan Showa Interconnect Products). The ongoing reorganisation is a response to the trend in recent years for Showa's main wire harness customers - Japanese electric appliance makers - to transfer operations to China and Southeast Asia.

Caroline Millar on 18 Sep 09

Swedish copper fabricator Elektrokoppar believes global demand will rise modestly by 3-5% next year, but expects the European copper market to remain in surplus due to ample supplies. Elektrokoppar is Western Europe's fifth largest copper wire rod producer - its Helsingborg plant in Sweden has 150,000-160,000 tonnes per year capacity. The company says its H2 copper consumption this year is likely to rise from H1 (H2:75kt vs. H1:70kt), with a further increase in 2010. Output is currently down 16-17% but this compares favourably with a regional average decline of 22-25%.

International Wire Group announced results for the second quarter ended 30 June 2009. Net sales for the quarter were US$102.0 million, compared to US$199.9 million for the same period in 2008. The decline was due to a lower copper price and decreased volume. Operating income for the second quarter was US$1.3 million compared to US$10.9 million. The lower income was attributed to lower sales volume in all business segments but was partially offset by operating cost reductions and lower selling and administrative expenses. Net loss was US$0.9 million, compared to net income of US$5.6 million.

Fujikura Dia Cable (FDC), the joint venture of Fujikura and Mitsubishi Cable Industries, announced a 14% year-on-year decline in their building cables shipment for the period April-September 2008. FDC describe the current situation as a difficult one, especially due to weak demand. The manufacturer, facing decreased inventory value due to falling copper prices, has to sell at relatively low prices reducing profit margins. FDC cable shipments fell by 8% in 2007 and the initial target for 2008 was to grow back to the 2006 level. However, this was revised down because of sales results. Overall profitability is also affected by rising prices of insulating and sheathing materials.
